BOTTLE-STOPPER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 9, 1907.

Application filed December 14,1906. Serial No. 347.759.

the United States, and a resident of the borough of Brooklyn, in thecounty of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Bottle-Stoppers, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to a bottle stopper which when applied to abottle or other vessel, allows the discharge of the contents thereof,but will not allow the introduction of a fluid or liquid of any kindafter the stopper has been secured in place.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a partial verticalsection of a bottle with the invention, Fig. 2 shows a partial verticalsection and elevation of avalve chamber oi'the invention, Fig. 3 is atop view of Fig. 2, Fig. 4 shows an elevation of a valve guide, Fig. 5is a top view of Fig. 4, Fig. 6 shows a section of Fig. 5 on the line 6,6, Fig. 7 is an enlarged section of Fig. 4 on the line 7, 7, Fig. 8 is aplan view of a cap ring for the valve chamber, Fig. 9 is an elevationand partial section of Fig. 8, and Fig. 10 shows an elevation of avalve.

The stopper is shown to consist of the valve chamber 20 in the lower endof which is formed a valve seat 21 and above the latter a shoulder 22.In the upper edge of the wall of the said chamber are formed notches 23.A guide 24 with the radial arms 25 is located in the An annular flange26 with slots 27 extends from the body of the guide 24, and the saidguide 24 has an axial opening 28 that is star shaped in section toobtain the clearance spaces 29.

On the seat 21 is located the weighted valve 30 with the valve spindle31. A spring 32 is located on top of the valve spindle 31 and extends tothe top of the opening 28 in the guide 24.

A ring cap 33 is placed on top of the chamber 20 and secured theretowith cement, after the radial arms 25 have been located in the notches23. The whole stopper is then placed in the neck of a bottle 35, thering cap 33 being cemented to the said neck with cement 37. In thedrawing an ordinary stopper 36 of cork or other material is shown at thetop of said neck.

When the bottle is in the position shown in Fig. 1

the weight of the valve 30 with the spring 32, will keep the said valvein its seat. When the bottle is turned up side down the weight of thevalve and the weight of the contents of the bottle will allow the valveto leave its seat and the contents of the bottle is discharged. Theclearance spaces 29 allow the air to escape from the opening in theguide 24 as the spindle 31 enters therein. The openings 27 allow a freedischarge of the contents of the bottle.

To secure the stopper in place the cement need only extend around thecircumferential edge of the ring cap 33 or a little below the same,which allows the elements of the stopper to be visible to the observer.

The outside diameter of the ring cap 33 and chamber 20 is shown in thedrawings, somewhat smaller in diameter than the internal diameter of theneck 34 of the bottle, but it may be made to just [it in said neck. Alsothe ring cap 33 may be made a little larger in outside diameter than theoutside diameter of the chamber 20.

Having described my invention I claim:

1. In a bottle stopper the combination of a chamber" having a valve seatat its lower end and notches at its upper end, a guide having an axialopening located in the chamber, radial arms extending from the guide andengaging with the notches of the chamber, a flange having slots aroundthe body of the guide, a weighted valve on the valve seat of thechamber, a spindle on the valve extending into the opening of the guideand a spring on the top of the valve spindle.

2. Lhe combination in a bottle stopper of a chamber having a valve seatat its lower end and notches at its upper end, a guide having an axialopening located in the chamber, which opening is star shaped incross-section to form clearance spaces on its sides, radial armsextending from the guide and engaging with the notches of the chamber, aflange having; slots extending from the body of the guide, a weightedvalve on the valve seat of the chamber, a spindle on the valve extendinginto the opening of the guide, and :1 spring on the top of the valvespindle guided in the opening in the guide.

Signed at the borough otManhattan in the county of New York and State ofNew York this 8th day of Decemher A. D. 1906.
